Trivia
- The only two goalscoers of Australia Olympic Team, Nathan Burns and Bruce Djite are both from Adelaide United. Together with Robert Cornthwaite, who scored an own goal in the first match against China Olympic Team, all three Adelaide United players in the squad "scored" in the competition.
- The host Hong Kong team has not been able to win in the second day of the competition for 15 consecutive years (except in 2005 when there was only a one-match against Brazil).
- The host Hong Kong team finishes at the last place for 5 consecutive years.
